Working together to support the prevention of suicide in Oxford County

and build a community where everyone feels safe, strong and valued

Oxford County Suicide Prevention Team

The Oxford County Suicide Prevention Team (OCSPT) is a collaborative group of service providers and community members that work together to prevent suicide in Oxford County.

The OCSPT has grown out of a Ministry of Child & Youth Services project that began in 2015, coordinated by the London Family Court Clinic. The project ended on March 31, 2016. 

The Team agreed to continue its work independently and pursue the development of  a number of strategic directions that increase knowledge and awareness of issues related to suicide in Oxford County; thus sustaining the Suicide Prevention Team in Oxford County. Since then, the OCSPT has worked collaboratively to create resources, spread awareness, and enhance Oxford County’s capacity to create a Suicide Safer Community.
